a Maximum CH4 emissions from livestock subcategories(t). Figures are adjusted according to the VS of cow’s and buffalo’s manure in the study. b CH4 conversation factor for the management systems of pasture, daily-spread, and burnt for fuel for the temperate {cold}, and {warm} days. cManure management systems for pasture, daily-spread, and burnt for fuel, respectively; (the rest 3 to 5% assumed to be already used in digesters is not included in the study).
